A Visit to Duck Pond Pottery, Brevard NC

On our way back from Connestee Falls, we stopped by Duck Pond Pottery shop on the side of the road to Brevard. Nick Friedman, the potter, fires his pottery in a hybrid kiln he made himself--it uses gas and electricity! Check out the shop if you're visiting the area!
